Application filed August 30, 192.2. Serial N'o. 585,184.

lTo all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, HENRY REINBOLD, a

citizen ofthe United States, residing at Newark,v in the county of Licking and State of Ohio, have invented certain new 'andu'seful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following is a specification. Y

This invention relates to heaters and has special reference'to an oil burning heater suitable for rooms.

One important object of the invention is to improve the general construction of devices-of this character.

A second important object of the inven tion is to provide an improved burner arrangement for such devices.

A third important object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement of vaporizing coil for vaporizing a liquid fuel.

`Witl1 the above and other objects in view as will be hereinafter apparent, the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings like char-- acters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and

Figure l is a side elevation of an improved heater partly in section.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the vaporizing coil used herewith.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail view partly in section of such coil.

Figure 4 is a section on the line of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Figure 1.

In the embodiment of the invention herein illustrated there is provided a lower cylindrical drum 10 which is connected to an upper cylindrical drum l1 of somewhat less diameter by means of a frustoconical portion. The drum 11 is traversed by transversely disposed tubes 13 and one or more of these tubes may be provided if desired, with a perforated diaphragm 14. A vent l5 leads from the top of this drum for the escape of products of combustion and can be connected, in the usual way, to a chimney. At the front of the drum 12 is an opening 16 which is closed normally by double doors 17 and below the opening 16 is a second opening 18 having a slidable drawer 19 therein to receive any overflow of fuel as form of a hollow castinghaving radiating arms'and provided with burner openings 25. Leading from one of the arms ofthespider is a tubular member 26 having a flaring outer end 27 and this tubular member rests in a trough shaped extension 28 of the pan 21. 29 provided with a guage 30 and from this fuel tank a pipe 31 and valve 32 extends downward to a vaporizing spiral 33 located abovethe burner 25. From this Vaporizing spiral a pipe 34 extends down to a noZ- Zle 35 disposed centrally in the mouth 27 of the pipe 26. This nozzle is controlled by the usual needle valve handle which is indicated at 36. The vaporizing spiral consists of a coil of tubing in which is located a braided wire cable 37 which partially fills the vaporizing coil but leaves room for fuel to flow slowly through said coil. By means of this arrangement the heating of the coil by the flame from the burner will also serve to heat the cable 37 and thus a high degree of vaporizations will be obtained with the consequence that great intensity lof flame may be had with a corresponding economy in consumption` of fuel. In the operation of the device a certain amountof the fuel oil is run into the pan y21 and this is lit. The burning of this fuel in the pan serves to heat up the coil 33 and after this coil has been heated for a few minutes the valve 36 may be opened and the fuel vapor will issue in a liet into the burner 25 and be mixed with air by reason of the flaring mouth 27. Consequently, this combustible mixture will pass out of the openings 25 and, being there lit will provide the necessary heat not only to heat the air in the upper drum tubes but also to maintain the vaporizing coil in a hot condition so as to keep up the supply of'vaporized fuel.

There has thus been provided a simple and eflicient'device of the kind described and for the purpose specified.

It is obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the Above thedrum 11 is a fuel tank Cil invention Without departing froin the material spirit thereof. t is not, therefore, desired to confine the invention to the exact forni herein shown and described, but it is desired to include all such as properly come Within the scope claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claiined as new is i l. In a heater of the class described, a lower drum, an upper druin connected thereto, a burner in said lower drum having an air inlet tube extending therefrom and provided with a flaring inouth, a fuel nozzle arranged centrally of said inouth, a vaporizing coil above said burner, a pipe leading from said coil to said fuel nozzle, a supply pipe leading to said coil, a starting pan having a frustoconical central portion supporting said burner, and a trough shaped extension leading from said pan to the outside of the drum and supporting said fiaring inouth.

2. In a heater of the class described, a casing, a' burner in the casing, an air inlet tube extending from the burner and provided With a flaring mouth, a fuel nozzle arranged centrally of said mouth, a fuel line connected With said nozzle, a portion thereof being disposed so as to be heated by said burner, a starting pan having a frustoconical central portion supporting said burner, and a trough shaped extension leading froin said pan to the outside of the casing and supporting said flaring inouth,

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

HENRY RENBOLD.
